A

a network o

Each power supply–cooling
f
an module in the PowerVault
MD1000 contains an inte
g
rated power supply with two fans.
A
lthough the enclosure can sustain the loss o
f
one power supply,
three of the four fans must be functional to maintain proper cool-
in
g
. Durin
g
a hot replacement, coolin
g
is supported
f
or a maximum
of five minutes when only one power supply–cooling fan module
is present in the enclosure. The remainin
